a few weeks ago i was at the legion of honor gallery in san fransisco. i saw some amazing paintings there. here are a few:

lodowijck de vadder - village road


john christian clausen dahl - cloud landscape study


konstantin makovsky - the russian bride's attire (this painting is HUGE in real life)


julien dupre - peasant girl with sheep


james tissot - self portrait


pierre paul prud'hon - venus bathing

unomoralez does make really amazing stuff. he's one of those people that i wonder where the hell they get their ideas and inspiration from

john christian clausen dahl - cloud landscape study... <3
I love how they captured that night sky, perfect.

it's much better in person as cliche as that sounds, something is just lost when a photo is taken of it

[Jon]

i wish there were complete stories behind unomoralez's pictures, it's like they're begging for it

Obviously not as good as anything else posted on this thread,
but I love Toriyama's Chrono Trigger art
